The Marcus Corp. swung to a profit in its fiscal third quarter on a strong movie theater performance, according to a Thursday news release.

The Milwaukee company reported $109.8 million in revenue for its quarter ended Feb. 27, a 17.3 percent increase compared with $93.7 million in the third quarter of 2013. Net earnings attributable to Marcus were $4.1 million for the quarter, or 15 cents per share, compared with a net loss of $1.4 million, or 5 cents per share, in the third quarter of 2013.

Revenue at Marcus Theatres grew 26.8 percent for the quarter, setting a new record for revenue in the third quarter, the release said. The quarter saw a solid slate of films, with “Frozen,” “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” “The Lego Movie” and “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” as the top performers.

Results at Marcus Hotels & Resorts also improved over last year, with a 2.5 percent increase in revenue per available room and an 8.1 percent increase in food and beverage sales.

The third quarter of 2013 was hit by $1.4 million related to a settlement in a lawsuit over Marcus’ Platinum Hotel & Spa in Las Vegas. But in the third quarter of 2014, the company benefited from a recent reallocation with its partners in its Skirvin Hilton in Oklahoma City.
